Third International Workshop on Particle Image Velocimetry to be held at the University of California @ Santa Barbara, September 16-18, 1999

“第三粒子图像测速（PIV）研讨会”（Santa Barbara， CA， 1999年9月16-18日）获得了主题演讲者的部分旅行支持，减少了研究生的注册，以及组织费用。研讨会旨在促进PIV和粒子跟踪测速（PTV）的理论和实践交流，提供最新的综合评估，并发展美国研究人员与欧洲和日本专家的科学互动。同时对二维或三维场中的速度以及温度和浓度进行点测量，将提高对流体流动现象的理解。典型应用包括湍流、多相流、微尺度流、高速流和生物医学流。这些技术的许多方面需要进一步细化和增强理解，以充分实现其潜力。在美国举办研讨会将大大有助于我们的实验社区了解最新的发展，并将为我们的研究人员提供与国际同事建立联系的机会。

Partial travel support for keynote speakers, reduced registration for graduate students, and organizational costs to the "Third Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) Workshop" (Santa Barbara, CA, September 16-18, 1999) has been awarded. The workshop is structured to promote exchange of ideas concerning the theory and practice of PIV and particle tracking velocimetry (PTV), provide a comprehensive assessment of the state-of-the-art, and develop scientific interactions of US researchers with experts from Europe and Japan. Simultaneous point measurements of the velocity in two- or three-dimensional fields, as well as of temperature and concentration, would improve understanding of fluid flow phenomena. Typical applications include turbulence, multi-phase, micro-scale, high-speed, and biomedical flows. Many aspects of these techniques require further refinement and enhanced understanding to fully realize their potential. Holding the Workshop in the US will significantly aid the exposure of our experimental community to the most recent developments and it will provide exposure for our researchers to establish contacts with international colleagues.
